Re: YET AGAIN .....
I know how you feel
It's the moment you and your buddy get back into the van drive off and suddenly notice that evil smell in the van with you. We carry some spare plastic gloves and paper towel from when we refuel the van and use them for emergency cleaning, makes me retch though 
We're all here because we're not all there

where I deliver some dog walkers go to the trouble of picking it up and putting it in bags but then just drop the bags on the pavementSWIM wrote:totally agree..disgusting.comeracing wrote:My trolley wheels went through dog crap,im fed up of it last week happened a few times,its hidden under fallen leafs,i had to grab a handful of leafs and wipe my trolley wheels today before folding it up and popping it in the van for the next loop,if I ever catch any dog walker not picking there own dog mess up,they will be reported. don't you think RM should supply plastic gloves or wet wipes .its disgusting![]()

You shouldn't accept unsafe systems of work.

Re: YET AGAIN .....
I don't think RM see the dog sh1t as a problem because there's only about 25% of the staff who are supposed to use them use them. I brought this subject up with the HS guy once who said - "just avoid it"
obviously not a guy au fait with delivering with a trolley or delivering in general, he was from a MC. It's a more serious occurrence than you might consider because it's possible to lose your sight from an infection brought on by contact with dog mess.

Re: YET AGAIN .....
I would email Moira and complain mate, but saying that you might find yourself barking up the wrong tree?
No doubt your line manager would just say you gotta take the woof with the smooth.
